Is it possible to be too confident?

Sometimes. (Painting of Custer's last stand)

That is so wholly an inaccurate representation of events it makes me think the choice of picture is very apposite for you.

I range from no confidence to too confident. I seem to have no in between

Sounds to me as if you're lacking in confidence. IMHO, you're being "too confident" is merely bluster to cover up your lack of confidence.

Buck up! Anyone who plays Civ and posts on Poly is a bright guy. You just need a few more well deserved 'atta boys' to boost your spirits.

McCain was confident that he would win the election.

nuff said

so was Obama. It's called campaign strategy. It's pretty much required of every candidate to believe they will eventually become prez (or whatever they are running for).

What made you think Oerdin thought it was an accurate depiction just because he posted the picture?
